Our Location: Quartzsite, Arizona
Morning came early or it seemed to anyway. Even though I was still tired I couldn’t seem to fall back asleep after 4:30 am. Finally I just sneaked downstairs, turned on the heater, heated some water and snuck a few shots of the sunrise before doing some blog reading until 7:30 am when Riley started making noises of being awake.

| Sunrise this morning... |
It was decided that we’d stay home today and in keeping with that idea the only reason we left today was to take a walk this morning and kind of get our bearings. We walked around a bit, found a couple of sites that looked interesting and ended our walk about an hour after leaving home. I think we covered a couple of miles.

| Just before the sun peaked over the edge... |
Back home we both sat outside to read for a while. The sun was warm before turning to being hot. The shade was cool though and I moved back and forth for a while. Riley finally just went inside.

We had prepped lunch before leaving for our walk and when the clock started pushing noon, we both sat down to eat our salads. It was about 1:30 pm when I started tossing stuff on the Weber. Didn’t take long to cook our small packet of fresh beans, mushrooms and asparagus with Italian Seasonings, along with a pork loin chop for Riley and a small chicken breast for me. By 2:30 pm we had eaten and cleaned up.

| Just the last little bits of sun as it's sets tonight... |
I had myself a bit of a nap shortly after 3 pm and woke up around 4. The sun did it’s work and just tuckered me right out. The out door receiver for the thermometer is in the shade and it’s still registering 69F/20C now at 4:30 pm. I didn’t look at this afternoon to see what the temp was reading.

| Actual sunset tonight... |
The days are getting longer, it’s still day light outside and it’s just before 6 pm. A wonderful sunset tonight. The temps are falling now it’s 62F/16C and of course it’s cooling off quickly. A beautiful day for our first full day here in Quartzsite. We have enjoyed it a great deal. I think tomorrow we’ll venture out and about for a look see and maybe a stop or two.
